Just a thought for you guys with 1.4 or 1.6's
« on: 02 February 2014, 23:15 »
Since I have just upgraded my brakes to 312mm on the front, I will have for grabs 288mm calipers and carriers along with the splash guards... would anyone be interested in them? if so i'll re-furb them like i did with my 312mm setup and get them up for sale for ya.

Also on the other hand they are never gonna get the fun of massive acceleration but with big brakes you could have some massive deceleration
I can Imagine the line now yes mate but mine does 60 to 0 in 5.6 seconds lol
